Comment 47 for bug 861171

What about this use case

- I am logged in as an administrator
- Suddenly, my brother next to me asks to log in to check his mails for 3
minutes.
- I move to the other room while he is logged (switched to another session)
in to a Standard session (mine is still on).

When I am back, I find the machine shut down. What the heck?????
No...........

To sum it up, when multiple accounts are logged in, Ubuntu should allow
only ADMINS accounts to force the Shutdown operation or the Standard user
if he/she has the SHUTDOWN privilege. The only requirement is that a
Warning box should be displayed (Other Accounts' sessions are still open,
are you sure you want to shutdown anyway?). That's a preventive way to see
the issue from an end-user side.
